Are you streaming ( or binge watching ) any series on Netflix, or any other service? Tell us about it.

Re-watching "Endeavor" on Amazon with Shaun Evans as the young Morse. While he is great in the role, Roger Allam, who plays DI Thursday is the one whose performance got to me the most throughout the series... soul-rending in some episodes. Very talented actor.
I thought the two leads made a good pairing, playing off of each other nicely. Their pairing vaguely put me in mind of "The Streets of San Francisco" series with Karl Malden and Michael Douglas. Many of the episodes were a little dry to my taste, but overall the series was pretty watchable.
 

A fourth season of Lupin is being shot right now. If you haven’t watched this, it’s a light French comedy about a charming thief. Episodes are only 30 minutes long.

NF.
 

Just watched The Noel Diary on Netflix.
The story of a man who returns home on Christmas to settle his estranged mother's estate. Once there, he discovers a diary that may hold secrets to his own past and of a beautiful young woman on a mysterious journey of her own.

I fell in love with all four men in that series. Honestly I think I used up my last bit of hormones on them.

Endeavor of course because he's our heartbreaking star, Thursday for the reasons you say, Bright for his surprising and awesome courage and his tenderness with his wife, even Strange for his sincerity and effort.

The episode where the ending had all four showing up at the truck yard, risking almost certain death to stand by Endeavor. Whew. Wonderfull series.

Right now I'm watching Killing Eve on Tubi. First season down. It's dark, it's violent -- and funny.

I just finished season 1 and while it was different and fairly good I don't plan to watch the next three seasons. Enough was enough.

Do you subscribe to PBS? This is behind a paywall for me.
 
I've been watching "Duster" on play any chaMax. A first I was avoiding it because I didn't think I could watch Josh Holloway play any character other than "Sawyer".


But I decided to give it a try because I had a Duster back in the day. The cheapest most plain jane one you could buy. Slant 6 with 3 on the column.

And after a while the show kind of grew on me. It's set in the 70's and it's a real nostalgia trip for me.
Hey...my cousin Keith David is in Duster. I can't watch it though, because I don't have Max. He's one of the busiest men in the business, but still hasn't gotten the type of recognition he deserves.

I started watching Countdown on Amazon Prime a couple of days ago. I watched the pilot and I think this will be a keeper. I like the cast members I knew (Eric Dane & Jensen Ackles pictured here) and like the characters of the ones I didn't. They make for an interesting team. The plot as revealed in the trailer and the action scenes also peaked my interest.

Interesting. On my Amazon Prime, it shows it as PBS. I get the same results for the series as the pilot.

Who knows what logic (aside from making $$) determines what is free and what requires a subscription ? It can change at a moment’s notice.

I haven’t pay for a subscription to a channel— Amazon already gets my money, I’m not shelling out to someone else

I won't pay for anything either, including Amazon Prime, so I'm used to PBS's rules.

If it's first run on TV then you can watch the episode online through the following week -- which is how I watched Endeavor and am watching Grantchester now. Once the week has passed you have to have "passport" which is a minimum one time donation of $60 or a "sustaining membership" of 5 dollars a month (they're going to get that 60 one way or another.)

I donated that $60 one year and was very disappointed because most of the shows I had planned to watch are not actually owned by them (usually they are BBC's). The whole thing irritates me because PBS is supposed to be free for all of us.
 
I just finished the Netflix series The Residence. The only thing I didn't like is that when I asked for that show, it kept going to another series called The Resident. But I finally made my way there each time. Excellent light-hearted murder mystery sort of based on the game Clue, except without Colonel Mustard and the rest of them. But a lot of the characters are similar to the characters in the game. The acting is first rate, and the series keeps you guessing for the entire 8 episodes. You don't find out whodunit until the very end.

And it's a very funny sendup of fanatic bird watchers.
I've only seen the first episode but I was really impressed and amused. The woman who plays the wise-ass bird-watching detective is right up there with Inspector Clouseau!
 
I just LOVE The Bear! Just watched the long episode of the 4th season, which is Tiffany's wedding. All the Bears/Berzattos attend, and it is so good. This morning I read a mostly negative critique of it in the NYTimes. Well, I think they are crazy. Excellent characters, excellent plot lines, an excellent television experience.
 
I just discovered 'Sherlock & Daughter' (CW, Max). I've only watched 1st of 8eps, but I'm hooked.
I've always been a huge Sherlock Holmes fan, and the brilliant David Thewlis may be my favorite Brit actor. But the series premise sounds silly. Thewlis is likely perfect as Holmes, so why counterfeit an implausible character into the legendary lore?

Still, we may take a peek at it just to see Thewlis work out...:)
 
I finished the series called Dept. Q. I thought it was good. About a cop who tries to solve a case where a woman disappears and has been gone for 4 years.It takes place in the UK.

I'm not going to give away what happens but it's very good. He has his own issues from being a cop and what's happened to him.
